What is the hardest project to make in Scratch that is possible?

you can make literally anything so it's kind of a silly question

Yes, but there are some projects which are harder to make than others.

i am aware of that but there's an unfathomable number of possibilities, not to mention “hardest” is subjective.

but if you really want an answer out of me, here are my top-three "holy crap, how'd they do that" projects i've seen in my days:

• a 3-d flight sim with texture mapping
  
• a 3-d raytracer with light diffusion
  
• a liquid physics renderer

Probably the one that uses maximum .json file size (5mb), and maximum project size (10mb), but there are a lot of them.

There is no maximum project size (anymore, there was in 1.x and 2.0). The limits are:
- 5MB for the project.json file
- 10MB for any asset (sounds, costumes, backdrops)


To answer the OP's question, I would have to say perfectly re-creating Blender (as close as possible, since Scratch can't do everything Blender can, like download 3D models directly) and making it run at a decent framerate, all in Scratch.

In my eyes the project that is hardest to execute is the one with the most elements and factors working against it. It would be a neural network, because to make it would be impossible on base Scratch and even TurboWarp without major external help because of the large amount of data needed to collect for it. Scratch's list limits make it so that a single neuron could potentially cap out the list limit according to my calculations. You could use Python and ScratchAttach to store the data in a text file. There is also an extension to download files in TurboWarp, but that would be more clunky. There is currently no way to expand this limit unless you made a custom Scratch mod It would also need access to a dictionary for context, which is impossible on Scratch, requiring a Turbowarp extension or a python script. You also have to pick a lane as ScratchAttach works entirely on projects uploaded to the Scratch servers whether you are using them on TurboWarp or not. If you are using TurboWarp, ScratchAttach is going to be impossible. While doing it without Python is harder in the sense that the extensions are more clunky, requiring minimal Python knowledge and managing file space are also problems, and it's a whole mess.

Please remember that “Questions About Scratch” is here to help Scratchers learn Scratch - the website and the language. Let's please not take up space with other topics, such as polls and hypothetical questions. A studio might be a good place for those discussions.
